On January 1, 2022, the public experienced ice sports at the Shanghai Feiyang Ice Sports Center. It is reported that in 2011, Yang Yang, the first gold medalist of the Winter Olympics, settled in Pudong, Shanghai. Two years later, she established the Shanghai Feiyang Ice Sports Center at the Sanlin Sports Center, operating the first market-oriented professional skating hall in China. Over the years, "Feiyang" has become one of the most professional ice rinks in Shanghai, which not only attracts more and more ice sports enthusiasts, but also exports professional teachers to ordinary primary and secondary schools, and continuously expands the crowd participating in ice sports. In the past 11 years, Yang Yang's identity has also changed: from a member of the International Olympic Committee to the chairman of the Athletes Committee of the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee, she has always contributed to her passion.
